“Where do we go from here?” asks “Birds and the Bees,” the third track from Trees On Fire’s latest EP. It’s an appropriate question for the local brainiac-rockers. The quintet followed up their ambitious 2007 debut EP The Green Room with efforts to uphold a green existence: selling organic t-shirts and raising awareness of environmental issues through their concerts. But the band is more than just a mouthpiece for the growing green movement: they’re also artists who are inspired by it.
“We all play real instruments, but all also like the music that exists in computers,” says bassist Brian Wahl of the “Organica” concept. “Music that’s not as tangible, but still valid.”
Presenting Organica as a multiple-part EP rather than a larger album brings a sense of expansion and endurance as the band continues to explore the organic-electric mix. “The idea is to put out multiple releases, bite sized chunks of the ‘Organica’ concept,” says Wahl.
While The Green Room presented a more funky, “jolting” sound, according to Wahl, Organica is a more steady, stable release. The EP continues to play with dance rhythms, but smoothly comes together as a single concept rather than a compilation of quirk.
“We hope it comes across as a natural, easy kind of sound with the “-ica” coming from the electronic quality,” explains Wahl. “We want to do what’s not really possible for humans to do without a computer.”
The band hopes Organica will impress when they exhibit their new sound for the first time in front of audiences Saturday night. “It’s the first time we’ve performed this material anywhere,” says Wahl. “We’ll have some tricks up our sleeve.”
Don’t expect them to show all their cards at once, though — the band is heading back into the studio to start working on Organica: Volume Two the day after the release party.
Trees On Fire host a release party for Organica: Volume One at Gravity Lounge on Saturday, January 24. 8pm, $10.
Sean Watkins (right) earned fame as guitarist in acoustic trio Nickel Creek. Now he’s collaborating with Jon Foreman (left), the frontman from amped-up rock outfit Switchfoot and they’re coming to the Gravity Lounge.When he first burst onto the national music scene in 2000, Sean Watkins seemed an unlikely candidate to become the latest sensation in American roots music. There weren’t many 23-year-old bluegrass pickers from San Diego, particularly not ones playing whose regular gig was at a California local pizza restaurant with a 19-year-old mandolin player, and a 19-year-old kid sister on fiddle. But that’s exactly what happened when Nickel Creek became an underground sensation, garnering two Grammy nominations for their self-titled third album in 2001.
Seven years older, hundreds of shows played, and millions of albums sold, Nickel Creek disbanded indefinitely in 2007 to pursue solo projects, though they left open the possibility of reuniting one day, dubbing their last shows the “Farewell (For Now) Tour.”
Now, Watkins is taking yet another unlikely path. He’s collaborating with Jon Foreman, guitarist and frontman for power pop outfit Switchfoot. Several years earlier, they had begun collaborating as a duo, and are now calling themselves Fiction Family, and this week they released their self-titled debut album.
Watkins says the two first talked about collaborating when they (more)
Thanks to the strength of their latest album The Midnight Organ Fight (yes, it’s a dirty joke) and its warbly opening track “The Modern Leper” (one of Pitchfork’s favorite songs of 2008), the wabbits and their buzz-inciting indie-pop have finally ascended to the heights of Scottish rock royalty, keeping company with everyone from the Proclaimers and Simple Minds (Eighties!) to Travis and Del Amitri (Nineties!), Franz Ferdinand and Snow Patrol (Aughts!), and Glasvegas (last Tuesday!).

Paul Curreri’s college roommate only started playing guitar three years ago, so it’s quite remarkable that his greenhorn debut Taken Man had such a strong impact in 2006.
Now, his second studio album is on the way, due out less than a week after his umpteenth Charlottesville show, and while he’s a little more experienced as both a guitarist as a guitarist and a singer, he a little more worn down as a person. That’s partly because of the hustle and bustle surrounding his Brooklyn home, partly because of the rigors of the road, somewhat from handling album releases by Paul, Devon Sproule, Keith Morris, and the ever-expanding roster of his City Salvage record label, and not least of all by constantly juggling two kids. (OK, not literally, though on “Freddy’s Backroom” he does sagely advise, “You don’t argue with someone who’s got their finger in your eye.”)
That’s the whole point of Weary Things, though — it’s a series of reflections on the various grisly tolls life takes on your spirit when you’re not looking, and even, he hopes, a holistic remedy to ward them off. “A lot of people who tell me that my songs affected them in a way that they can use, and that is what keeps the tour bus rolling more than gasoline,” he writes.
In a way, Weary Things points out that it’s a miracle anybody makes music at all. And if it comes out like this? So much the better. Go see this even if — especially if — you don’t think you have the time.

buy tickets onlineAlejandro Escovedo’s folk and blues stylings are rooted in the punk and rock bands of his youth, and the blend has been winning rave reviews ever since the release of his debut solo album in 1992. By March 1998, that had even morphed into an “Artist Of The Decade” award from alt-country music magazine No Depression — despite the fact that said decade still had nearly two years left. But he’s also seen darker times which often turn up in song: his first two albums grappled with the suicide of his first wife, for example, and a near-death encounter with Hepatitis C in 2003 might have ended differently without the benefit album put together by Steve Earle, John Cale, Lucinda Williams, and Jay Farrar to help cover his medical bills. Thankfully, Escovedo is now in good health, able to resume both his recording career with last summer’s Real Animal and his more-miles-than-money touring schedule.
